Chapter 8, Evacuation
The five mysterious superpowered individuals have been temporarily designated by the authorities as the "Unknown Identity Five". Higher-ups have issued orders to locate their whereabouts at all costs.
The "Ninth Bureau," responsible for handling these matters, has continuously increased its budget, strengthened its personnel, and expanded its capabilities in this context, becoming a true "expert" in this field. In order to conceal these events from the public, the authorities even went so far as to create a special column titled "Approaching Science," which employed a method of "popular science whitewashing" to provide a "materialist scientific" explanation for the "unspeakable" supernatural events occurring in various places.
The pigeon flew around the city, descending in altitude, and continued to circle above a local villa area known as Banshan Qianye.
Police officers who rushed from nearby have blocked both sides of the street, while medical personnel are busy treating the injured. Some officers, acting on orders from their superiors, are stopping those who are watching the commotion or attempting to leave, under the 'identification' of Wang Lei, and then taking them away in the name of 'assisting with the investigation'
Porter, who has enhanced the abilities of the Jedi, relied on an advanced intelligent computer that is hundreds of years ahead of this dimension known as "PQ17". By infiltrating the police channels, he immediately recognized that as soon as his team of five entered, they became the target of the local natives' pursuit.
The street is filled with a foul odor; apart from the corpses and the injured, the most prevalent source of scent is the "yellow and white substance" produced by humans.
Two and a half hours after the EMP shock occurred, the leaders of the Xihai City Committee received a directive from higher authorities, requiring them to organize an evacuation of the entire city. An hour prior to this, personnel from the traffic police department had already blocked all major access routes into Xihai City in accordance with higher instructions, allowing no entry but permitting exit.
There is more than one person suffering from headaches, not just Director Lin Shenhe.
Half an hour after the explosion, new orders were issued from the upper echelons. Several high-ranking officials jointly sent instructions to Lin Shenhe: he was authorized to directly mobilize any domestic resources to participate in the operation to eliminate the mysterious group of five. At the same time, a military figure was dispatched to assist Lin Shenhe, primarily responsible for coordinating the joint actions of the Ninth Bureau and the military
Including those identified by Wang Lei in nearby stores, along with eight police officers and the sisters Bai Ye and Bai Yan, as well as Wang Lei himself, the total number of "disconnected individuals" counted reached as many as one hundred eighty-three.
Through official channels, the five individuals were dismayed to discover that within less than two hours of arriving in this world, they had become "wanted criminals." Currently, all police and military forces in Xihai City, while organizing the evacuation of personnel, are also searching the world for these five "extremely dangerous terrorists."
It is not very likely, but rather it is directly aimed at us
The source of the explosion was an underground cesspool located beneath the feet of the five mysterious superhumans. Over time, a large amount of biogas had accumulated inside, and then, for reasons unknown, it suddenly exploded. The chain reaction following the explosion caused the interconnected underground pipeline, which was three hundred meters long, to detonate as well
Suddenly, there are so many "disconnected individuals" who are about to die "unexpectedly". Director Lin Shenhe, who is aware of the situation, is now in great distress. However, during this critical period, his thoughts are no longer on the more than one hundred disconnected individuals, but rather on how to quickly eliminate those five mysterious "superhumans".
Just now, intelligence from both the United States and France indicates that all disasters stem from these mysterious superhumans. As long as they remain alive, disasters centered around them will continue to occur. The previous explosions of sewage pits and drainage pipes were merely the "least destructive" of the "appetizers".
This is a local wealthy villa community, built on a small hill, with all houses being small three-story buildings, and the population density is already low. Upon receiving the EMP disaster alert, the local residents hastily drove away, leaving no trace. The roads surrounding the villa area are empty, with not a single person in sight, creating a terrifying silence
However, the official surveillance of these five individuals lasted for less than two minutes after this. After leaving the explosion site, the five of them pretended to be "ordinary people" and walked along the road for a while. They sensed that they were being monitored, and then, under the influence of a mysterious force, the surveillance cameras installed around them shattered one after another
At this moment, there is no need for higher authorities to issue directives. Ever since the EMP impact occurred, residents in the city have spontaneously begun evacuation efforts, referencing the two EMP disasters in the United States and France that happened a year ago. Currently, the roads leading out of the city are congested with cars. Furthermore, the "rumor" that "an EMP impact has occurred in Xihai City, and a large-scale disaster is about to erupt" has spread throughout the city, and is known even nationwide and globally.
In a three-story villa within the Banshan Qianye community, Anna slowly opened her eyes while sitting on the sofa. At the moment her eyes opened, her pupils appeared surprisingly sharp, resembling those of a bird.
Since the first EMP disaster began in the first year, not only have foreign countries become "unsettled," but even China has started to experience a similar trend. Various strange "supernatural" events and "mysterious incidents" that cannot be explicitly described have occurred from time to time across different regions, resulting in significant damage and casualties.
The ability to "transfer" to a kilometer away in less than a minute without the use of any transportation is clearly beyond the capabilities of humans on this planet. This discovery has completely dispelled any lingering doubts among the superiors regarding the intelligence provided by both the United States and France.
The team of gods to which Porter belongs is not the first group to descend into this realm known as PQ17. Before them, two other teams with greater strength had already arrived here. The intelligence Porter received indicates that the fate of these two reincarnator forces was as follows: one was completely annihilated, while the other had only one survivor.
After receiving instructions from superiors, the originally two-lane road was transformed into a one-way street allowing only outbound traffic to facilitate evacuation. The previously congested outbound passage became significantly smoother due to this directive
If given the choice, his team would prefer not to accept this task. However, since becoming a "Reincarnator," his and his teammates' fates are no longer in their own hands
The blonde-haired man, Porter, gazed at his large head wanted poster on the computer, feeling an immense sense of frustration. He had traversed countless worlds and executed various bizarre tasks. Among all known tasks, none were more peculiar and perilous than the "Survival" task, which also offered the greatest rewards. However, the Survival task was also the one with the highest mortality rate for reincarnators like him.
Up there, an emergency meeting is currently in session. Although the order for the evacuation of the entire city has not yet been issued, the directive to "prepare for evacuation in advance" has already been communicated. The military surrounding Xihai City has now received instructions to elevate their combat readiness to Level 1.
"It's truly unbelievable, how did they track us down? We really shouldn't have killed those three police officers at that time"
In the previous shocking explosion, the five individuals went missing amidst the dust and smoke generated by the blast, yet they did not completely evade official control. Xihai is a developed coastal provincial capital, where nearly every intersection and street is equipped with surveillance cameras. Although the "unknown identity group of five" briefly escaped the official's sight due to the dust from the explosion, it took less than a minute for their figures to be recaptured by cameras installed in other directions—located approximately one thousand meters away from the explosion site.

Shortly after the EMP attack, police officers who arrived at the scene in other locations discovered the bodies of three murdered police officers. Coupled with the implications of the "Prophet" in the painting, along with the "lines" seen by Wang Lei, the authorities easily identified the mysterious five individuals as the suspects. Due to their "criminal suspicion," they were marked as "extremely dangerous".
The situation is dire; the indigenous people here are currently evacuating the city on a large scale, while on the outskirts of the city, the military is gathering, likely in preparation against us
In the sky above Xihai City, a common pigeon is soaring through the air. Through the eyes of the pigeon, one can clearly see the dense flow of vehicles below, organized by the authorities, forming a multicolored long line surging towards the outskirts of the city
However, the actual truth is known only to a few individuals
Losing control over the whereabouts of these five individuals has made the upper echelons increasingly tense and vigilant
Due to the various worlds experienced, there exist all kinds of bizarre methods of murder, and the "true name" must not be known to others. Potter is not his true name; Shan Wang, Mo Li, Anna, and that androgynous beauty Dracula are all "codenames" they use to refer to each other.
His companion, the blonde man Porter among the five, was currently online. He had just hacked into the official network using his own laptop and intercepted a large amount of information
After circling the upper area of the villa district, the pigeon suddenly folded its wings, its body transforming into an arrow shape, and it crashed headfirst into the ground, ultimately becoming a blurred mass of flesh and blood on the concrete surface
